Happy birthday, Valerie! Stay lean and fit!

We loved how you helped turn our lives around with the help of your endorsement with Jenny Craig. Celebrate with your family and we hope you continue to make us laugh in your sitcom Hot in Cleveland.

Sweet-faced Valerie Bertinelli may look like a soft touch, but throughout her life she’s drawn on the tenacity of the Aries–Taurus cusp to carry her through situations that would have done others in. Unlike her One Day at a Time costar Mackenzie Phillips, she bypassed many perils that plague child actors and went on to marry rock star Eddie Van Halen; their union lasted 24 years, practically a millennium by Hollywood standards, but classic for bulls, who hate to give up on anything! The mother of Wolfgang, 19, she’s most recently made headlines again as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, reminding us all that there’s no shame in battling weight gain.
